Thanks Everybody!!

This week I turned 41.  More importantly, my family remembered that I did.  Even better than that –>  They expended THOUGHTFUL effort on my behalf!  That’s my favorite!!!!  Admittedly, the gifts are sort of fun, too!

41 Birthday 

  • Mark went into work late and took me to breakfast!
  • Avila made homemade fruit tarts for my celebration!
  • Cassie gave me some nail polish and TEN - 10!! – certificates for “at home” pedicures!
  • Vicky gave me Bath & Body Works Twilight Woods lotion!
  • Jaycie & Avila arranged for my new Miche bags (Hope and Grace)!!  Mark took over at the payment part.
  • Many “Happy Day” wishes from facebook friends!
  • Nana & Papa each sent a check for my shopping pleasure!
  • Mom sent some cash for more shopping indulgence!
  • Auntie & Uncle B. sent a Starbucks gift card!
  • Lots of cards in the mail from friends at church!
  • Someone gave me a very nice square black & muted white platter from Japan … but I don’t know who yet.  I’m checking around!!
  • Karin left a fall bouquet on my front porch – she always likes to surprise in sneaky ways!
  • Michelle took me out today for breakfast, gifted me with Amazing Grace windchimes (be sure LISTEN to them at the link!), and then took me to a local knitting shop, where I spent the money mom sent!

I’m sure I’ll keep updating the list as I remember something I forgot, but it’s already clear that I’m utterly spoiled!!  It’s been a very sweet week and using my blog to tell everybody THANK YOU seemed the perfect way to end it!

Guess I will tell you what I tell others when they say my dog is spoiled. She is well loved. You are well loved. Love you.
